It is a little heart - rending, but despite that fact (or because of it,) I still love the story. :) Another good book is, "Behold the Dawn" by K. M. Weiland.

I cannot even whole-heartedly recommend the Mysterious Benedict Society because of something (which could be entirely imagined, so please don't ask) in the third book. I also retracted a recommendation from the Inkheart series years ago. Why does perfectly amazing writing have to be so soiled sometimes? Why do we have to second guess ourselves because of modern culture?!

Her books are sweet and since they are early 1900's I think, veerry clean in most catagories, don't know about language. Her writing is exquisite. I think my fav is Keeper of the Bees, but Laddie is also lovely. Both are just delicious. I don't even know how to express how amazing. Oh, and Rosemary Sutcliffe's Eagle of the Ninth, Shining Company, Outcast, Silver Branch, Lantern Bearers, and Warrior Scarlet. These are Ah-mazing! But those are the only ones I can safely recommend because I have come across a few that are horrid in the worst ways, so beware stepping outside this list without recommendation from others. Do you like fairytale and princess stories retellings? I recommend Beauty, Entwined, Princess of the Midnight Ball, and the Ordinary Princess. If magic of that sort bothers you, I think ordinary princess is Disney level magic. Sorry for such a long list but I love my precious books. I also second Emily of New Moon trilogy by L.M. Montgomery. I love reading comments and posts for new books to try. I tried the Mysterious Benedict Society because of one of your posts.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313625459145095841.post-74909964509134349322013-12-02T08:48:50.163-06:002013-12-02T08:48:50.163-06:00GOSHDARNIT YOU GORGEOUS WOMAN YOU. your pictures, ...GOSHDARNIT YOU GORGEOUS WOMAN YOU. your pictures, this post, those words...so much loveliness. oh!

I was the one who commented under the name "EmilyC." :)<br /><br />*raises hand* I have a book recommendation. "Radialloy" by J. Grace Pennington. It's the first in her growing Firmament series, and I loved it! It's sci-fi, but it's really good. Not that I have anything against sci-fi in general, it's just that the genre is not always appealing to everyone, if you follow me. Oh, and always read the Anne of Green Gables books. You probably have already, but if not, go do so. ;) Then there's "Little Women", my favorite book. That's most likely nothing new to you either, but you could always read it again... ah, and have you read "To Kill a Mockingbird"? Go read it. You'll like it.<br /><br />Okay, I'm done. ;) Have a beautiful day, you gorgeous girl, you!<br />- em -Emily Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276243287071282744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313625459145095841.post-79211882250131573372013-12-01T19:48:08.837-06:002013-12-01T19:48:08.837-06:00SO is it weird that I am giving you a suggestion o...SO is it weird that I am giving you a suggestion of what to read? I, a total stranger, who stumbled across your blog while reading Amy Dashwood's blog, which I stumbled across reading Elegance of Fashion, which I stumbled across while reading one of my very best friend's blog Austenitis? Hmmmmm...oh well who cares NOT ME and we are a lot alike and i like your blog. SO. <br /><br />Have you read the first three books of the 'Time' series by Madeleine L'Engle? (A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet) They are superb literary masterpieces, and despite being fantasy, gave me what I call 'spiritual spine shivers' (Avoid alliteration always)<br /><br />If you're not a fantasy girl, well. Become one. :)<br /><br />Or. 'The Red House Mystery' by AA Milne. Yes the one who wrote Winnie the Pooh. Best books ever, btw. BUT. This is (sadly) one of his only adult books. and it is really good! <br /><br />Or, 'Run Silent Run Deep' by Edward Beach. a book about submarines, WWII...need I say more?<br /><br />in the fantasy genre, (yes I love fantasy. Why do you ask?) 'Ender's Game' was the best book I've read (for the first time) this year. It does have some vulgar language in it. Nothing bad, but it was a bit surprising. <br /><br /><br />This is a really huge comment.

Such an honor! <br /><br /> An excellent trilogy that I got into was The Circle Series by Ted Dekker. Tears and laughter rolled into those three! Masterful analogies tying back to God's Word.

Okay,...How the heck are you so gorgeous.

I would suggest In Freedom's Cause by G.A. Henty. I'm not a major Henty fan in general, but I love this particular title. It's the inspiring story of Scotland's war for independence in the 1200s. If you would like to read a Christian book, I would suggest Stepping Heavenward by Elizabeth Prentiss.
